I did silhouettes before for the hallway. and I still like them hanging there. After reading a post on Chasing Cheerios Wednesday I decided to let the girls have some fun with silhouettes. I took their pictures, printed them out and drew them onto contact paper. I cut them out of the contact with a razor blade so I could use both the positive and negative silhouettes. I stuck them onto watercolour paper and a canvas. Then I let the girls have paint and paintbrushes. After they had filled in all white space I peeled off the contact. They thought it was so cool. I really like them too.

Have I ever mentioned what a clever woman you are?! You're amazing. Who would have thought to etch Pyrex bowls - they look so beautiful and such a nice pressie! Hoping you cotinue to stay well for the next few weeks. Will be praying for you!

A little girl follows me

A careful woman I ought to beA little girl follows me;I do not dare to go astrayFor fear she'll go the self-same way.I cannot once escape her eyes;What're she sees me do, she triesLike me, she says, she's going to be,The little girl who follows me.She thinks that I am good and fine,Believes in every word of mine;The base in me she must not see,The little girl who follows me.I must remember as I go,Through summer's sun and winter's snow,I am building for the years to be,For a little girl follows me.
